Upload WordPress media files to Amazon and improve the security of your digital products
While developing our most popular plugins, we are often inspired by the features of successful eCommerce platforms like Amazon. In most cases, before we sell our plugins, we install and use them on our platform in order to understand their full potential and to improve them and make them even more powerful and effective.
That’s why YITH Amazon S3 Storage is not just a plugin, but the full answer to the goals we aimed for when we started selling digital products: reducing the bandwidth consumption to make your e-commerce more effective and protect your products once they are online.
Our experience proves that, no matter what kind of online business you are running, if you’re focusing on selling digital products, you’ll have to deal with the problem of hosting space that’s never enough and with the need to protect your products so that they will be accessible only to those who are fully entitled to it.
Our plugin will allow you to automatically upload – without the need to open the Amazon S3 page, publish the media, copy the URL, replace it manually with the WordPress URL – all your media files (videos, pictures, PDF files, archives zip, etc.) on Amazon S3, thus making the server load for your website much lighter in a single action!
Once the files are loaded on Amazon S3, their security will be exponentially increased, as you are free to make them “private” – so they will only be accessible to verified buyers – and/or make them available for a specific amount of time only.

Worst pluginThat is, this plugin is very bad.
1. The transfer of files between server and S3 is very slow, even though I am in the AWS infrastructure;
2. I cannot edit images using Wordpress resources;
3. It does not work when we upload the image from the page editing;
4. It doesn't work anywhere else in Wordpress, only in the media library;
5. If you used images on S3 and then decided to uninstall it, you need to manually change the images;
6. Do not cache metadata, decreasing performance.
And go on.
Terrible.

Dear Emanuel,
thanks for taking the time to review this product. We are really sorry to read about your dissatisfaction with this plugin. We really appreciate your feedback, but let me answer your points one by one, as there's still room for getting better support.
1. This time depends on the image, as the plugin first adds it on media library and then uploads it on s3 amazon.
2. If the images are on S3 amazon, they are on an external website, that's why it is not possible to edit them directly from the WP, that's why it is necessary to recover them from s3 and edit them on WordPress.
3 and 4. It works, so please, feel free to contact our support for these specific issues, we will be happy to help.
5. If you remove it, the plugin will remove all links on your site from s3 amazon, but we helped you with this specific case (using Divi theme) showing how to do that, please, let us know in your open ticket if you need any further help on this matter.
6. For this last issue, please, get in touch with our technicians through a support ticket, we will be happy to help you.
We will however consider your feedback for improving the product, as it is really important for us to provide both you and other customers with the best product and service we can offer.
